It’s 2013, Baby. I’m Resolving to Have Sex With the Lights on and I Think You Should Too.

Happy New Year, you guys! I hope you all enjoyed the holidays and some insane NYE parties. And since it’s the first day of 2013, it’s time to take a good look at those resolutions you’re planning.

OK, I’ll go first. This year, I’m vowing to have sex with the lights on more often. I’ll admit it, I’ve had body image issues my entire life. I’m constantly worrying about my pants size and whether or not those M&Ms I ate are going to show.

I’m just not entirely comfortable in my own body yet; it’s a work in progress. J, on the other hand, loves my body. He loved me ten pounds heavier and he loves me now (post-workout kick). And I want to feel as comfortable with my own body as he is with it. I’m talking walk-around-the-house-buck-naked confident. And that’s why one of my resolutions is to have sex with the lights on. To J, "Sexy is a girl who wants to have sex with the lights on." And maybe this confidence can be a “fake it ‘til I make it” thing until I really feel it. And since J is my hubby-to-be, who better to help me accomplish totally body love?

Even though this is my resolution for 2013, I know a lot of you can probably relate. As women, we’re constantly hating on our own bods. Her body is amazing and perfect but I’ve got so much to work on. At least that’s how I often feel. And it’s time we start loving ourselves, right?

So who’s with me? Who’s going to have sex with lights on and walk around the house naked? What other resolutions did you make? I have a great feeling about 2013!
